One of the best parts of what I do is hearing that a piece made its way into such a meaningful moment.

Looking for a meaningful gift for a WOCS graduation, promotion, retirement, PCS, or special recognition?

A custom Eagle Rising plaque is built to honor the achievement behind the moment. Each piece is designed with layered detail, personalized options, and a finished look that stands out from the second it’s opened.

If you need a meaningful military gift that won’t feel generic, I’d be honored to build one for you.

Before I retired, a few coworkers told me they liked my De Fleury Display, but said it would be even better with a coin holder.

I make customizable coin holders!!

Whether you want the De Fleury, unit crest, branch insignia, name, rank, or other details added, I can build something that fits the moment and tells the right story.

So basically, I took the suggestion.

You know who you are! 😉🤪 It's your move!!

I’ve updated my Frederick’s Revenge dice game listing!

I know there are too many dice games to count, but this one is different! It’s easy to learn, travels well, and is a great game for family nights, camping trips, beach days, bar nights, reunions, and friendly competition.

Frederick’s Revenge is named after a friend we lost way too soon. I wish I’d had more time to get to know him, but I’m proud that this game carries his name forward in a fun way that brings people together.
